Lt. Gov of MO, Peter Kinder is looking into getting all e-mails between Nixon’s office and the WH.

Jarrett's official title is "Senior Advisor and Assistant to the President for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs"

Sounds like she is in charge and control of everything.

Of course, Sharpton, ValJar et al!

Remember, 0b0z0 with Sharpton and “leaders of Ferguson protesters” in the white hive, on Wednesday after the election rejection.

The NYT reported that 0b0z0 asked them to “stay the course.”

What course is that? I leave it to your imagination.

PS. I was having Internet trouble...

The grand jury decision was made around eleven in the morning... it should have been released then.

Waiting til nightfall gave the thugs and liberal elites cover of darkness... it was a mistake. Or maybe it was intentional - Nixon is a democrat after all..

NEW YORK TIMES AUGUST 18, 2014

EXCERPTS

In Washington, President Barack Obama said that Attorney General Eric Holder would go to Ferguson on Wednesday to meet with FBI agents conducting a federal civil rights investigation into the shooting. He seemed less than enthusiastic about the decision to call in the National Guard.

Obama said he had told the governor in a phone call on Monday that the Guard should be “used in a limited and appropriate way.”

He said he would be closely monitoring the deployment.

“I’ll be watching over the next several days to assess whether in fact it’s helping rather than hindering progress in Ferguson,” said Obama, who emphasized that the state of Missouri, not the White House, had called in the Guard.

Holder headed to Ferguson on Wednesday, will oversee federal response to shooting

By EMILY WAX-THIBODEAUX, DENEEN L. BROWN AND JERRY MARKON
The Washington Post.

Tuesday, August 19, 2014

FERGUSON, Mo. — President Barack Obama on Monday dispatched the attorney general to personally oversee the government’s response to the fatal police shooting 10 days ago of an unarmed black teenager, the latest step in an extensive federal investigation that was expanding even as National Guard troops moved onto the restive streets of this St. Louis suburb.

Attorney General Eric Holder will meet Wednesday in Ferguson with some of the FBI agents and prosecutors who have already interviewed more than 200 people as they scour the area where 18-year-old Michael Brown was killed by a white police officer. Holder pledged “the full resources” of his department to investigate Brown’s death, which has triggered unrest so severe that Missouri’s governor on Monday called in the state’s National Guard.

Behind the scenes, the administration worked to reassure some in the civil rights community that the nation’s first black president sees the Ferguson crisis as an important moment. In a conference call Monday with civil rights groups, Holder and White House adviser Valerie Jarrett - perhaps Obama’s closest confidant - said the case is a top priority.

(snip)

Nixon had ordered the midnight-to-5 a.m. curfew two days earlier after a week of clashes between demonstrators and police following Brown’s death on Aug. 9. He brought in National Guard troops after the most chaotic night yet Sunday, one marked by protesters shooting and throwing molotov cocktails at police, and officers deploying tear gas.

The arrival of the Guard troops evoked images of the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War protests of the 1960s - when they were deployed to help integrate institutions in the South and restore order in burning cities - though the Guard is better known recently for its full-time roles in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Monday, the Guard’s role contributed to what appeared to be the latest example of federal-state tensions in the response to Brown’s death, which is also being investigated by state officials. A White House official said Nixon did not notify the administration before announcing his decision to call up the Guard.

And at his White House news conference, Obama was notably cool in his response and offered only lukewarm support. The president said he had told Nixon in a phone call Monday that the Guard should be “used in a limited and appropriate way,” and he told reporters that he will be watching in the coming days “to assess whether in fact it is helping rather than hindering progress in Ferguson.”

THE ED SHOW for August 18, 2014, MSNBC
MSNBC - Monday, August 18, 2014
Show: THE ED SHOW
Author: Ed Schultz, Courtney Reagan

EXCERPT
SCHULTZ: So, what do we have at this hour? The president of the United States has spoken to the American people. The president of the United States has been on record of what he thinks of the looting that is taking place. And the president of the United States has injected himself into this through the attorney general who is going to be on the scene in Missouri. All good moves.

Now, let me tell you the bad move. What in the world would provoke the governor of a state to throw the state National Guard into the mix when it’s been one night after another of nothing but distrust and unrest in a community that has now seen crime right out on the streets? It makes no sense. He’s asking for another Kent State. And the bottom line here is that State Governor Nixon has not been down into that community and talk to those people face to face at any time as of late since this shooting took place.

So now, the question is how do we defuse this? Every time a curfew, as I saw it, it was nothing but a challenge to these protesters and now you’re going to put the state National Guard there, a show of more force? No. Back off the National Guard , back off the curfew and start listening to these folks and maybe the crimes won’t be committed. These people don’t want to see a show of force; they want to see a show of justice. The president made the right moves today, the governor has not done too many things correctly since all of this unfolded.

For more, let me bring in Reverend Jesse Jackson, President of Rainbow/Push Coalition who has spent time down in Ferguson and joins us tonight from Ferguson Missouri.

Reverend, good to have you with us. You have seen a lot of protest and a lot of unrest in your career in your life time. I want you thoughts tonight on the state National Guard being called out in a situation that seems to be very volatile. And at this hour, we really don’t know what’s going to unfold tonight. Reverend, your thoughts.

REV. JESSE JACKSON, RAINBOW/PUSH COALITION PRESIDENT: It’s a series of missteps by the law officers. One was bringing the tanks and that was over appealed, the next they have no one that was on the protection, then the curfew and now, the National Guard . The National Guard , they’re here, they have another cover of falls protection but does not deal with the underlying cause of the problem.

(snip)

SCHULTZ: Reverend, with the autopsy being released today, the private autopsy, commissioned by the family and the fact that the wheels of justice seemed to be moving pretty slow. The prosecutor down there has not even going in contact in any of the witnesses to my knowledge. What’s wrong with this? Why is it taking so long to move the wheels of justice in your opinion?

JACKSON: Well, just to lay it of course as justice denied and the court is slow moving adds to the suspense and adds to the mistrust. Of course, it adds to the seven percent African-American and 56 policemen, only three are African-American versus no firearm on here, no blacks from the school board, no blacks on the city council. So, they kind of lock out of their own government and feel they break sense of isolation, Ed, and everything that’s happened has added to the distrust.

And when President Obama weighed on this today, he’s weighing in Mr. Holder coming in which is in respect to him because I really think that this Ferguson is a metaphor for abandoning the urban America. We better put the fire right here before it spreads.

POLITICS NATION for August 15, 2014, MSNBC
MSNBC - Friday, August 15, 2014
Show: POLITICS NATION
Author: Al Sharpton ; Lisa Bloom

EXCERPT

SHARPTON : The Michael Brown tragedy has renewed the focus on police and civil rights in our community.

Joining me now is Martin Luther King III. Thanks for being here.

MARTIN LUTHER KING III, PRESIDENT, KING CENTER: Thanks, Rev.

SHARPTON : Martin , do you think that the killing in Ferguson and its aftermath are also part of a larger civil rights issue at the forefront of the movement today?

KING : Well, I certainly think that when we look at this specific situation and police brutality and misconduct that that’s still a major problem. And I’m certainly grateful that you and I back I believe in 2000, we were probably about to get racial profiling addressed when, in fact, in 2001, 9/11 occurred. And it sort to re-empowered the police presence.

SHARPTON : Right.

KING : And so what we see — what is so wonderful in one sense about what we see in Ferguson is the concept of community policing is being enforced. That’s something that needs to be unanimously embraced across our nation. But human relations, sensitivity and diversity training is certainly in order.

SHARPTON : You know, to that point, the images out of Ferguson this week bear a striking resemblance to the images we saw come out of the civil rights movement in the ‘60s. Police lining up on the streets. Police pointing guns at protesters. Even officers holding dogs. I mean, we have come a long way. But there is still a long way to go, Martin . Right?

KING : Well, absolutely. And I think that the moment that our communities come together. And, quite frankly, it’s not just our communities. It really is creating what I would call is a strategic plan that infuses capital as well technical training, giving people viable skills so that they can, in fact, really assume their rightful places and become responsible. But when you have communities where there is no opportunity, that’s a remedy for disaster. And we see it over and over again. And the fact that police in some communities do not know how to interact with other ethnic groups.

Sharpton was directed to find out specific information including what the Brown family wanted from the White House, Politico reports.

Which reads: "Pay up suckas! ...or we loot and burn!"

Sounds like extortion to me.

Whatever happened to:

We don't negotiate with terrorists!
